BYRON CENTER, MI — SpartanNash on April 1 will begin offering free, same-day home delivery of prescription medications at 88 of its company-owned pharmacies in seven states. Customers must live within a 10-mile radius of a location to qualify for the offer.

The Byron Township-based chain said the offer applies to pharmacies within Family Fare, D&W Fresh Market, VG’s Grocery, Family Fresh Market, Forest Hills Foods and Econofoods stores in Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

“We are waiving any and all delivery fees on prescriptions as a way to help our store guests comply with the shelter in place orders in effect across the country, especially those with higher-risk conditions,” Lori Raya, SpartanNash’s executive vice president and chief merchandising and marketing officer.

“As health care providers, we want the best outcome for our patients. This change helps us ensure that store guests of all ages have every option available to them – at no extra charge – when it comes to filling their prescriptions during these uncertain times.”

The free delivery also extends to three Martin’s Super Markets locations in St. Joseph, Stevensville, and Niles.

In a press release, SpartanNash said the deliveries will comply with social distancing guidelines. Prescriptions will be placed on a customer’s porch or doorstep, after which the delivery driver will call the customer. The delivery driver will leave once he or she has confirmed the prescription has been picked up.
